Of course, the “press” didn’t always get things right; but to the OP’s point that I quoted, at least journalists were held somewhat accountable.

Today, we consume (or are bombared ) with so much information from so many sources. Are they fact checked, do we even care any more?

I suppose the debate is as old as the news itself, but I have to think with the technology of today, we are more susceptible to misinformation. Not because of technology itself, but because of the information being pushed through it.

Maybe that’s just the cynic in me

Disseminating what’s truth from what’s fiction becomes increasingly difficult if you don’t use a critical lense. IMHO.
